This is Love.

Chapter 19: Daniel's POV- (Part 1)

A/N- This is going to be quite a long one. Going to write up Daniels point of view from the first time their first encounter together till now...

Daniels point of view so far: Graduation party-
Walking into the party I felt overwhelmed. When Maia told me her cousin Mila was popular, I didn't know she was this popular.

This was crazy, the decorations were incredible and THE, DJ Khaled was there, madness.

After grabbing some drinks and food with Maia, and saying hi to a few people. Maia and I walked over to Mila, she looked so beautiful in her green dress, her braids complimented her face so well.

She gave Maia a big hug, and a little slap on the head for being late. Beautiful, and funny I thought to myself as I continued to stare at her. Once she looked over at me, I reached forward my hand for her to shake. Once our hands connected, I could not help but to smile.

Her hands were so soft and dainty, I said "congratulations" to her and she gave me a shy smile back.

We were still holding hands, and smiling when Maia clocked on and interrupted our brief moment by continuing to introduce me to Mila.

"Nice to meet you Mila". I said as I picked her hand up again, and kissed it I couldn't resist.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Maia turn to look at me with a smile but also with a 'what the hell' confused look on her face also. Mila looked so shy, but happy at the same time.

There was just something about her, I needed to know more.

Maia and I walked away to get some more food, but I needed Mila's number, this could not be the last time I saw her. I planned to get her number before I left the party, I needed to gather up the confidence to ask her.

Music was blasting, food and drinks were flowing, and I was actually having a good time. Every now and again I turned around to see Mila and her friends dancing, she didn't have a break. I loved that!

Soon after, the speeches started. It was such a special moment, all of a sudden the teacher gave a shout out to Mila there was an uproar of cheers and applause. Mila briefly looked back at me, I smiled at her and nodded as I continued to clap for her.  

After all the speeches and sentimental stuff, Ella Mai- 'Bood up' began to play. I saw Mila, standing by herself  smiling observing her friends. I walked up behind her gently tapping her shoulder "may I have this dance?" I asked her.

She paused for a moment before smiling, and agreeing. I pulled her to the dance floor, placing my hands around her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck as we slow danced.

The song ended but we stayed as we were, lost in the moment. I quickly laughed, and stepped back to break the awkwardness. I shuffled side to side before saying "I'm gonna find Maia".

She smiled looking down at the ground, and thanked me for the dance. I winked, and walked away. There were a couple more songs playing, but I spent the rest of the evening with Maia. We talked and danced the night away until the lights come on.

DJ Khaled announced that the party was over and he was leaving. Maia and I got a picture with him, then I quickly ran over to Mila, she was standing with her best friend.

I quickly exhaled before I walked in front of Mila, and asked for her number. "I look forward to speaking to you again", I said as I gave her a hug.
